Nissan (and all other car makers) engineers spend at least a little bit of time and money figuring out which oil viz works best in each engine. Plus they have a lot of experience. And engines are a...

Running one grade higher or lower in reality won't hurt anything. The _W number will make the most noticeable difference for cold weather. Oil is designed to be at around 212F or 100C regularly....

Just stick with a thicker 5w30 I would say. Motul EFE, Redline 5w30, M1 ESP 5w30 and PP Euro L 5w30 are available. They have a high HTHS rating (3.5, which is a good thing) and they run on the...

I ran 5w40 with no issues before. I now run 5w50. It will work just fine.

Back when wife and I had our nismo, the difference between going from stock trans fluid to the redline MT 85 was very noticeable. I don’t have comparative experience with other aftermarket trans...

Check your shifter. There is a well known high rpm rattle coming from it. Do a search for it on here.

Also, Not sure how Motul gets an oil to perform GL4/GL5 work, but nottheless, our MT transmissions require GL4. GL5 contains Limited slip Friction additives that eat "Yellow" metals like Brass,...

It is not dirt, it is carbon build up. It can be removed with a high quality fuel and sustained higher combustion temps. Putting the engine under a good load. It doesn't have to be high RPM. We don't...
